Megève

Luxury coupled with traditional charm

It has kept the traditional spirit of a typical mountain village with its old narrow streets, fountains, farms and mountain chalets, but throughout the years it also managed to evolve towards a more luxurious resort in the image of Saint Moritz in Switzerland. It is now internationally known for its Michelin star restaurants, fancy boutiques, and luxurious properties.

Skiing in Megève

The Megève area is spread over three mountains. The easiest to access from the town centre is Rochebrune. From the lower part of Rochebrune a gondola will take you to the Mont d’Arbois sector from where you can directly reach the ski area of St Gervais. You can access the third part of Megève ski area from the other side of the resort thanks to the Prellet lift. It will take you to the sector of Le Jaillet from where you can join Combloux and Le Giettaz.

The Megève area offers a good range of slopes so everyone will find a piste that suit their level. There is also a terrain park particularly suited for beginners and after a snowfall you can enjoy the powder on safe slopes as some of them are not immediately groomed.

Events

Megève hosts one trial of the freestyle skiing world cup as well as one step of La Grande Odyssée, the world hardest sledge dog race, during the winter season. In Les Contamines you have the Mont-Blanc winter Festival, with three days of music and festivities.
